New rumors about the Galaxy Fold 2: the smartphone will have special screen protection and the best chipset on the market
There is a lot of anticipation for the Galaxy Fold 2, the new folding smartphone of the South Korean company and in recent days new rumours have been spread by Ross Young, DSCC CEO and founder of DisplaySearc. The advances reveal unpublished details on the features that the screen of the Galaxy Fold 2 should have, the nerve part of the device. Samsung would intend to use the Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG) coating capable of increasing the resistance of the screen glass.
The folding display of the new Galaxy Fold 2 will thus have the UTG already used in the Galaxy Z Flip, in addition to the protective film already present on the first model. The design used for the Galaxy FOld 2 should be very similar to that of the first model, with a free opening and the screen that, fully open, will have a diagonal more significant than 7.5 inches—confirmed the support SPEN, while the characteristics will be those of a top of the range.
Galaxy Fold 2: the technical characteristics
Ross Young also dwells on what should be the definitive technical characteristics of the new Galaxy Fold 2. The display should have a diagonal of 7.59 inches with a resolution of 2,213 × 1,689 pixels, 372 dpi, a refresh rate 120Hz and an LTPO panel. The secondary (external) screen would instead have a diagonal of 6.23 inches, a resolution of 2,267 × 819 pixels, a refresh rate at 60Hz, an LTPS panel and a small hole that houses the front camera.
The main novelty of the Galaxy Fold 2 would be connected to the use of the S Pen. The Galaxy Fold 2 would thus be the first folding smartphone with a flexible screen by Samsung to support the S Pen without specifying whether its use will be available on both displays. The beating heart of the new Galaxy Fold 2 would be the Snapdragon 865 chipset with support for a storage capacity of 256 or 512 Gigabytes. The photographic sector should provide a 10-megapixel front sensor embedded in a small notch and a quadruple-camera equipped with a ToF sensor at the rear.

The Galaxy Fold 2, except for postponements due to the current health emergency, should presumably be launched during the next summer, perhaps during July. Four colours are available: Blue, Silver, Black, Pink.
